Privacy Policy

Introduction

Rednote Video Download is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our service.

Information We Collect

At Rednote Video Download, we follow a privacy-first design philosophy. We minimize data collection and prioritize user privacy in everything we do:

• Client-side processing: All video and image processing happens on your device (client-side) where technically possible. This means your content never leaves your browser until you explicitly download it.
• No file storage: We do not store any personal files, videos, images, or downloaded content on our servers. All downloads are processed in real-time and delivered directly to your device.
• Anonymous analytics: We only collect anonymous usage analytics to understand how our service is used and to improve the product. This includes general statistics like page views, download attempts, and error rates - all without identifying individual users.
• No personal information: We do not require registration, account creation, or any personal information to use our service. You can download content completely anonymously.
• Link processing: When you paste a link, we temporarily process it to extract video or image URLs. This processing happens server-side but we do not store the links or their content.

We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, and our architecture reflects this commitment by minimizing data collection and processing.

How We Use Your Information

We use the limited, anonymous information we collect solely for the following purposes:

• Service provision: To provide and maintain our video download service, ensuring it works reliably and efficiently
• Performance improvement: To improve user experience, functionality, and download success rates based on usage patterns
• Analytics: To generate anonymous usage statistics that help us understand how users interact with our service and identify areas for improvement
• Error monitoring: To detect and fix technical issues, bugs, and service disruptions quickly
• Platform compatibility: To ensure our service remains compatible with social media platforms as they update their systems

We never use your information for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any purpose other than improving our service. Your privacy is our priority.

Data Protection and Security

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your information and ensure a safe downloading experience:

• Client-side processing: Where technically feasible, all processing happens on your device, minimizing data transmission and exposure
• No file storage: We do not store any personal files, videos, images, or downloaded content on our servers, eliminating the risk of data breaches
• HTTPS encryption: All connections to our service use secure HTTPS encryption to protect data in transit
• Secure infrastructure: Our servers are hosted on secure, reputable cloud platforms with industry-standard security measures
• Regular security audits: We regularly review and update our security practices to address emerging threats
• Minimal data collection: By collecting only what's necessary, we minimize the potential impact of any security incident

While no online service can guarantee 100% security, we take every reasonable precaution to protect your privacy and data.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use minimal cookies and tracking technologies, only for essential functionality and service improvement:

• Essential functionality: Cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly, such as session management
• User preferences: Cookies that remember your language settings, theme preferences (light/dark mode), and other user interface choices
• Anonymous analytics: Cookies used for anonymous usage analytics to understand how our service is used and identify improvement opportunities
• No tracking cookies: We do not use cookies for cross-site tracking, advertising, or building user profiles

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our service. For more detailed information about our cookie usage, please see our Cookie Policy.

Third-Party Services and Integrations

To provide and improve our service, we may use trusted third-party services. These services have their own privacy policies:

• Analytics services: We use analytics services like Umami Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics. These services help us understand user behavior without identifying individuals.
• Content delivery networks (CDNs): We use CDNs to deliver our service faster and more reliably. CDNs may collect basic connection information but do not have access to your personal data.
• Font services: We may use web font services to improve typography and readability. These services typically collect basic technical information.
• Cloud infrastructure: Our service is hosted on cloud platforms that process requests but do not store your personal content.

We carefully select third-party services that share our commitment to privacy and data protection. We review their privacy policies and ensure they meet our standards before integration.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. We respect these rights and are committed to helping you exercise them:

• Right to access: You have the right to request information about what personal data we hold about you, if any
• Right to correction: You can request correction of any inaccurate personal information we may have
• Right to deletion: You can request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal and operational requirements
• Right to data portability: You can request your data in a portable format, though we collect minimal data

Data Retention and Deletion

Our data retention practices reflect our commitment to privacy:

• No file retention: Since we do not store your downloaded files, videos, or images on our servers, there is no retention period for personal content. Files are processed in real-time and delivered directly to you.
• Link processing: Links you paste are processed temporarily to extract video/image URLs but are not stored after processing completes.
• Analytics data: Anonymous analytics data may be retained for up to 24 months to help us understand long-term usage trends and improve our service. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.
• Log data: Server logs containing basic connection information (IP addresses, timestamps) may be retained for up to 90 days for security and troubleshooting purposes, then automatically deleted.

If you request deletion of your data, we will remove any identifiable information we may have, subject to legal obligations to retain certain data for security or compliance purposes.

Children's Privacy

Rednote Video Download is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We will take steps to delete such information from our systems if we become aware that we have collected it.

We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities and to help enforce this policy by instructing their children never to provide personal information without permission.

• Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own

By using our service, you consent to the transfer of your information to our facilities and those third parties with whom we share it as described in this policy.
